[EN] To study genes involved in embryo developmental competence and implantation in rabbits, the expression of a panel of genes related to pluripotency, angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation were ...

[EN] Vitrification is replacing slow freezing as the most popular method for oocyte and embryo cryopreservation. However, very little information is available on alterations in epigenetic regulation. Previous studies ...

Very limited information on the post-implantatory effects of vitrification has been published till now. We observed in a previous study that the vitrification procedure for the cryopreservation of embryos introduced ...

[EN] Assisted reproduction technologies require ovarian stimulation to increase the number of oocytes and embryos. Currently, superstimulation is achieved by gonadotropin treatment, but the embryo yield and quality are ...

[EN] Objective: In the current study we aimed to evaluate the effect of embryo transfer on gene expression during pre-implantation development and its consequences on implantation rate, offspring rate at birth and embryonic ...

[EN] The in vitro rabbit embryo production and their cryopreservation methodologies such as vitrification generate less viable embryos, and occasionally, with significant differences from those that are not subjected to ...

Parthenote embryos offer multiple possibilities in biotechnological investigation, such as stem cell research. However, there is still a dearth of knowledge of this kind of embryo. In this study, development and ploidy ...

[EN] The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of maternal and embryonic genotype on prenatal survival and foetal growth during pregnancy. Embryos were recovered at 48 h of gestation from two different donor ...

Although numerous studies have demonstrated that cryopreservation alters gene expression of early embryos and questions the neutrality of the technique in adulthood, less is known about those embryos that implanted ...
